I live in the Philippines, and the only way I could get anywhere to scoring the HIP line is through “online retail” importers on Multiply. Since I don’t live in Manila (and hate driving around it more so), I’ll have to wait until L’Oreal Asia gets their act together on that end.

YES! im wednesday is okay, just found out that i can make a playlist on youtube (im so behind on utube) and writing apps for next year. final yr in my undergrad u see ><Kelley recently posted … Marie Claire and other such niceties

Re: school — it’s a good idea to apply to several, along with a handful of “backup” schools. And you can always transfer if you don’t get into your top choice right off the bat. One thing I didn’t realize when I was young that you always, ALWAYS have options.

I have a couple of the HiP duos and I love them! They go on smooth and the colors are awesome. Although, I am not a fan of wearing blue and pink together so why those 2 are in a set I dunno…. but I am sooooooo excited to add a few more to my collection!

Yes! I wanna see ’em 🙂 Expecially Luna Noir and Enchantress.
I have 2 HiP duos, one in shimmery yellow/matte bright purple, and one in a shimmery medium purple/matte dark purple. The lighter colors were a little disappointing; they didnâ€™t pack much pigment at ALL. The darker purples, though, can be really pretty. They donâ€™t feel quite as luxurious as some of the more expensive shadows I have, but Iâ€™m pretty sure I got them on sale. Not too shabby.

i got that one. i found that the yellow went on amazing-ly, it built up really nicely from a shimmer to OMG, but the purple i just couldn’t get enough pigment out of. it was really really REALLY sheer no matter how many times/ways i tried to darken it up. :/ maybe i got the random weird one?

It’s so weird, isn’t it? It’s been known to snow here for Halloween. Then again, it still might! That’s really cool about your boat party, btw. I hope you guys have a great time (and don’t forget to take pics)!

so far, i have Showy, Sassy, Gilded & Electrified.
Showy is the perfect blue for my skin tone
Electrified has this silver that is great for my tear duct.
Gilded has this black shadow with slight gold shimmer and this tru gold shadow.
These shadows are sooo great that i almost feel bad paying only $8 for them, hahaha

This is true. Oh and their Infallible lipsticks = love!!!
I wear their exclusive Target Red like everyday cuz it really doesn’t transfer anywhere else. One lady on the train asked me what was on my lips that there are NO red marks on my coffee straw. I told her proudly that it was LOreal, loL!

Oooh neat! I have a few HIP products, they have some shadows that aren’t half bad copies of nars shadows – less pigmented but not horrible, if you can snag ’em on sale it’s a small tradeoff to get to wear some funky color. I mean, if I lived my dream life I’d totally sport “Rated R” every day, but until then $30 is a lot to shell out.. 😛

I wish the payoff in Dark Wave was better – on the surface it has the potential to be a kick butt rajasthan alternative.

I love HIP! I use SmashBox and Mac gel eyeliners, but they were so expensive and dried out quickly and the Hip cream eyeliner is huggeeee, very creamy and stays all day. The shadows are nice too, but I prefer Mac’s.

Ahh Karen. You always find a way to blog about something I can easily grab right before I get paid haha 🙂 I have quite a few of the hip duos. Can’t decide which ones I like better though. In most I like one color but not the other. The Hard Candy duos are awesome too!

I have several HIP eyeshadows but have never tried any of their other products. I love Sassy–it is the perfect taupe to accent my brown eyes and I use the teal as a liner. The only HIP shadow I didn’t like was their crystal eyeshadows. The colors aren’t as “true” on my fair skin as in the pan and have horrible fallout with them as well. Out of these limited edition colors I lust after enchantress! All of them are worthy of my fancy, though. I keep wondering if I am missing out by not having any of their powder pigments. Has anyone worn the eye pencils?

The names are awesome, especially since I like Darkwave music. I think Moon Goddess and Enchantress are the two I like the best in the pix. From your swatches I think I’d like to see Enchantress the most.Phyrra recently posted … Fyrinnaes Winter

These look nice, but are they repromotes/renames of old shadow duos? I’d swear up and down that Moon Goddess is the same as the old Concentrated Shadow Duo in Rascal (because Rascal is sitting right next to me, haha), but I’m not sure about the rest.

I’ve always felt that Hip shadows, and hip products in general really, are a little overpriced. The quality is better than most drugstore stuff, but not really better ENOUGH, you know? Eh, maybe I’m just resentful of the ever rising prices of drugstore cosmetics.
